Larry sits at the desk of a museum. He had gotten a job there, after being referred. With instructions given from the previous workers, he feels like this could be a job that will be relatively easy to keep.

He notices a phone on the desk and picks it up. Sound echoes throughout the museum, and he realizes it is an intercom.

After playing around, he passes out on the desk. Moving around in his seat, he ends up leaning so far back, he falls out of the chair.

Getting up, he wanders over to the front area lobby, and messes with his flashlight. Pausing, he realizes that next to him, an empty platform sits there.

The skeleton of the dinosaur is gone. He steps closer to it, and waves a hand, part of him not believing that it's truly missing.

Chalking it up to Cecil, one of the previous night guards, playing a prank on him like he did earlier today, he walks away.

Setting his mind to walking around the museum, he tenses when he hears a noise.

Turning down the hallway, he flashes his light down.

Drinking from the fountain, and getting water everywhere, is the dinosaur skeleton. Completely animated and alive.

Larry drops his flashlight, and makes a run for it. The dinosaur, nicknamed Rexy by the other night guards earlier in the day, follows.

He can't make it to the door, and manages to hide behind the circle reception desk. Grabbing the phone, he calls Cecil, who picks up while at a party.

Read the instructions is all he gets in before the line disconnects and Larry is once again on his own.

Grabbing the yellowed papers from the desk, he sees in red print, to throw a bone.

The desk behind him is picked up by Rexy, and Larry crawls backwards, eventually reaching the stairs.

As he prepares for the worst, he is shocked when a bone is dropped in front of him.

Putting two and two together, he throws the bone, then manages to run.

After many run-ins with other museum artifacts and people coming to life, he is rescued by Teddy Roosevelt.

He then is taken on a real tour, and everything is explained.

A magical tablet brings everything in the museum to life. It's only at night, and in the morning, anyone outside the museum turns to dust.

They turn into an exhibit, and see said tablet that holds such powers.

Two sarcophagi lie in front of it. They are parallel with the golden tablet.

Teddy and Larry enter, walking down the hall, getting closer to the two coffins.

Banging ensues from one on the right, and screaming as well as banging comes from the left.

"You're out of luck, Pharaoh. You've been in there 54 years, you're not getting out tonight."

He says this to the coffin on the left.

"What about this one?" Larry looks towards the right one, which has gone quite.

"That one is new. Recently shipped from London, I believe. We aren't too sure who she is."

"She?"

Teddy nods, and begins to walk out.

"Yes. She."
